Wurlitzer 153 Band Organ from Palace Amusements
By Dan Robinson

Rip Mohl in MMD 210114 seeks the whereabouts of the Wurlitzer Style
153 band organ from Palace Amusements (Asbury Park, New Jersey) and
later Stone Mountain, Georgia.

The organ has been spotted at the annual Ederville Tractor & Train
Show in Carthage, North Carolina (a very short video was posted on
the Facebook page of the National Carousel Association). I'm not sure
whether the organ is owned by the organization that puts on the show
or is brought in by someone else. This year's event is November 5-7,

I don't have a recording of the tune Rip Mohl is seeking, "In The
Dim Dim Dawning," but Matthew Caulfield's online roll catalog notes
that an original copy of the source roll, 13226, is owned by Don
Neilson (American Treasure Tour), Oaks, Pennsylvania. The catalog
does not state that the roll has ever been recut. Ref.
